LOS ANGELES — Twenty-five people were taken to hospitals with mostly minor injuries following a series of crashes involving at least two cars and a bus that crashed through a concrete divider on a Los Angeles highway, authorities said. Five patients were in serious condition following the collisions shortly after 1 p.m. that shut down all lanes on Interstate 405 in the city’s San Fernando Valley area, Los Angeles Fire Department spokeswoman Margaret Stewart said. Television news footage showed a white charter bus marked “Transit Systems” splayed sideways but upright across southbound lanes in the North Hills neighborhood. The patients in serious condition were three women, ages 49, 60 and 88, and two men, ages 30 and 69, Stewart said. Nobody answered at a phone number listed for Los Angeles-based Transit Systems bus company.
